The Hotel Koral in Medulin would probably be an excellent choice for a holiday in high season, especially if you're travelling with young children. We went in October and were basically the only guests at the time, the area had closed down completely, with the nearby bus stop being disused, which meant we had a long walk up hill to the central bus stop.

The Hotel Koral is situated right on a lovely sandy beach with beautiful crystal clear water for the family to while away the summer days. There are shops catering to tourists nearby and the hotel itself has a good restaurant which serves great pizzas. Don't go near the Risotto, though - I ordered the parmesan version and got a concoction of boiled rice, butter and the faintest hint of parmesan(?)!

The room/suite we got was spacious for a family of 4 with 2 bedrooms, a small bathroom (shower, no bath), balcony and a living area.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

The only real problem was with the breakfast and this may not be so much of a problem in high season. There was heavy white bread which didn't seem to be replenished from one morning to the next, croissants, but on one morning, only enough for one per guest, warmish yoghurts, boiled eggs, 2 types of cereal, watery orange juice and tea/coffee if you could find a member of staff to make it for you.

I got the impression that the hotel was closing down at the end of the season and staff were loathe to open a new packet of cereal or buy in new bread when supplies ran out!

As I said, perhaps with more tourists in the area and more guests at the hotel in June, July or August, the problems we encountered would be non-existent. I would definitely recommend he Hotel Koral for those travelling to Medulin in the Summer but stay well clear of the whole area from October to May unless you're interested in watersports in the freezing cold - and even then, bring your own breakfast!
